Can the dead communicate with and help the living? | Lifestyle.INQ

OCTOBER 27, 2022

Questions on interactions between the living and the dead never cease to fascinate the curious mind.

 

“Can our departed loved ones still affect or influence events in life? There are many anecdotes of how a departed loved one helped or protected living relatives. Are these stories true or imaginary? Or maybe just due to strong belief or suggestion?”

 

There are many documented cases of the dead communicating with the living and even guiding them. Many of these cases have been thoroughly investigated by scientific researchers from the West in the last hundred years. Yet, questions remain whether such communications were real or not.

 

It is not my intention to convince the reader that the dead do communicate with the living, and the living in return can communicate with the dead, especially departed loved ones.

 

I will just share some stories that have been told to me or which I experienced myself.

 

Perhaps the oldest recorded case of successful communication with the spirit of the dead can be found in Book 1 of Samuel, Chapter 28, verses 3 to 25 of the Christian Bible. It told in detail how King Saul, facing an attack by the more powerful Philistine army, sought the help of a medium in Endor to summon the spirit of the Prophet Samuel, and succeeded in doing so.

 

Everything Samuel told the King through the woman of Endor came to pass in every detail.

 

Proof in the Bible

 

What better proof of the possibility of communicating with the dead can we find than the Bible itself? Yet every Christian priest denies this possibility because of the belief that when a person dies, his spirit either goes to heaven or hell and cannot return to earth to talk to the living.

 

Let me cite a few documented cases.

 

  1. Fr. M.B., rector of a Catholic high school south of Manila, died. His body was to be brought to the school in the afternoon. But before the body could arrive in school, the security guard who did not know that Fr. M.B. had died was approached by Fr. M.B. himself, who asked for the key to his room. The guard, recognizing Fr. M.B., gave him the key, and he saw the priest enter his room.

 

Shortly after, the front gate doorbell rang. The guard went to open it and saw a casket being brought in. He asked who had died and was informed it was Fr. M. B. The guard said it couldn’t be, because he had just talked to Fr. M.B.

 

Unable to believe that Fr. M. B. had died, he opened the coffin to see Fr. M. B. lying in state. In shock, the guard fled, not to be heard from again. I know this school and the priest who died.

 

  1. The second case involves my brother-in-law, Fernando Campos, who died in 1997 at age 51, after a heart attack. As he lay dying in the hospital, his female colleague and a close friend in the insurance company he was working in saw him driving his car along the South Expressway bound for Makati.

 

She drove alongside him and waved at him, but he ignored her completely, which surprised her.

After his death, he communicated to me where an important document was stored and which was later found by his wife.

 

Secret knowledge

 

  1. The third is the most incredible case of spirit communication I have ever experienced, because it was from the spirit of an ancient Egyptian keeper of secret knowledge who lived probably more than 3,500 years ago.

 

This happened in the 1990s in Makati, during a group meditation session of about five or six friends.

 

Without any provocation or intention, I went into a trance and started talking about the Egyptian Book of the Dead. One of those present, without my knowing it, was silently invoking a spirit who could shed light on that book which he was very curious about. He posed more questions than any in our group.

 

“Is the Book of the Dead only about the dead?”

 

“No,” the entity replied.

 

“Does it contain information about warfare and military strategy”

 

“Yes” was the reply.

 

“Does the Book of the Dead contain information about treasures?”

 

Again, the reply was affirmative.

 

“Does it give information where these treasures are hidden?”

 

Again, the entity replied, “Yes.”

 

When the entity was already saying goodbye, the group asked for his name. “Before you leave, can you tell us your name?”

 

The entity did not reply, so they repeated the question, “Who are you? What is your name?”

 

Then the entity shouted his name in a very loud voice: “Amenhotep!”

 

Immediately after the mention of this name, the lights in the room flickered and the air-conditioning malfunctioned for a few seconds. We were all shocked. Everybody kept quiet, not knowing how to react.

 

When I came out of the trance, I said, “Wow! What was that all about?” Why did that Egyptian entity who must have been dead for thousands of years suddenly appear?

 

Then the psychic in the group confessed that he was silently invoking an Egyptian priest who could reveal secret information about the Book of the Dead.

 

We dismissed that message as nonsense because we knew that “Amenhotep” was a pharaoh, not a scribe. But something very amazing happened in my office a week after that incident which made my hair stand on end.

 

I was in front of my office library when something made me pull out a book in front of me. The book turned out to be “The Ancient Wisdom of Egypt” by Murry Hope, first published by the Aquarian Press in 1984.

 

When I opened the book at random, the first paragraph on page 20 read:

 

“The oldest copy of The Book of the Dead, now known to exist on Papyrus is that written for Nu, the son of the overseer of the house or the overseer of the seal, Amen-hetep, and the lady of the house, Senseneb. This extremely valuable document is dated to the early part of the 18th dynasty.”

 

So there was indeed a keeper of the seal involved in the writing of the Book of the Dead. Not only that, but his name sounds very similar to Amenhotep, the pharaoh (at that time, many Egyptians were named after the pharaoh), but he was also involved in the writing of the Book of the Dead.

 

We learn from the book of Murry Hope that the title “Book of the Dead” was a misnomer. Its literal translation is “Chapters of the Coming Forth by Day.”

 

“The real meaning behind some of the teachings,” according to Ms. Hope, “had become so obscured by the mists of antiquity that they bore no relationship or terms of reference to life in later years.”
